The Pastificio is a five generation run family business. The Morelli family export now its pasta in 25 Countries. Which does not mean that you can find Morelli Pasta everywhere, but only in elite delicatessen shops and some important restaurants.This small - big, craft Pastificio carries on, generation after generation, the tradition of the best Italian Pasta.But with passion and tradition science is involved as well: the research of completely natural species of wheat; the selection of the best, and completely Italian, durum wheat; moreover, something that makes the Pastificio Morelli unique: the use of the wheat germ.In the process of Pasta making the wheat germ is usually discarded, because of its perishability. But Pastificio Morelli reintroduced the wheat germ in the process: in this way all the nutrients of wheat are maintained, along with a wonderful, rich, grassy scent as well: when you cook the Pastificio Morelli Pasta the water takes on a bit of green and the smell of freshly harvested wheat invades the kitchen!The taste is so good that you wouldn’t need any seasoning… In a recent interview to a local newspaper Antonio Morelli (one of the three Morelli brothers currently running the company) said that Pastificio Morelli’s goal is not profit, but to support and spread a culture of healthy food, to maintain the traditional way to make Pasta (Pastificio Morelli still uses machineries from the early XX Century, restoring them only if and when it is needed).The product range of the Antico Pastificio Morelli is quite large, both for shapes and flavours: mushrooms, chilli, squid ink… Corn, spelt and soy tagliolini; garlic, basil or even lemon flavoured spaghetti, perfect with a seafood sauce… Tell the truth: is your mouth watering yet!?Well, just come and visit us!Here at Enoteca Alessi you can find the whole range from Antico Pastificio Morelli. And, mind to use a delicate sauce, not to cover the taste of this perfect Pasta!
